LIQUOR MIXER AND DISPENSER.

SPEGIFIGATIQN forming part Of Letters Patent NO 667,891, dated February 12, 1901. Application filed June 28, 1900. Serial No. 21,866. (No model.)

To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, GOTTLIEB NEUDECKER,

a citizen of the United States of America, and

a residentof Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquor Mixers and Dispensers, of which the following is a specification.

The main objects of my invention are,'firs t, to provide an improved device for containing hot water and other liquors in separate compartments and adapted to mix same in the act of drawing through a common faucet;-'

second, to provide for regulating in suitable proportion the flow of the liquids to be drawn, and, third, to provide for drawing and mixing a syrup with the other liquids through the same faucet.

The particular objects of the diiferent parts with which I put my invention into practice will be understood from the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which 7 Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2-is a vertical section of one of the faucets with the adjoining regulating-valve, with the connecting-pipes and receptacle partly broken away. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3'3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4. 4oi Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a top plan of the regulating-valve.

The device shown consists mainly ofthe receptacle 1 for containing water, the transparent receptacles 2 for containing liquors of difierent kinds, the transparent receptacles apparatus under'said body.

providedwith handles 12 for lifting same.

3 for containing the syrups, the faucet 4,reg-

ulating-valves 5, and the connectingpipes 6- The receptacle 1 is made of commonform, being provided with a gage 8, a thermometer 9, andthe faucet 10 for drawing water directly from said receptacle. The body of the receptacle is supported on legs 11, which raise same a suitable height for placing a heating The device is The receptacles 2 and 3, which are preferably made of glass, are provided with removable covers 13 and 14. The object of making these receptacles of glass is to permit the consu mer to seeighe liquor contained in same.

The faucet 4 consists of an outercasing having therein a turn-plug 15,provided with a handle 16 which projects through the slot 17 in said casing. .The plug has the ports 18 and 19'for communicating with the pipes 7 and 20, respectively. Said plug is provided with a partition 21, extending down between the ports 18 and 19 and designed to prevent the greater force of the liquid through'the ,port 18 from interfering, with the free 'flow of the liquid through the port 19. The plug 7 15 is also provided with a vertical passage 22 V for carrying the liquid from the receptacle 3; into the lower hollow part of the plug 15.and

through the spout 23. The passage 22 will be made of the proper size to permita flow of the syrup in the desired proportion to the flow ofwater permitted by the sizeof the port 18. The receptacle 3-is cemented to the casing of the faucet 4. The plate 24 is secured in the lower part of the receptacle 3 and has a perfora- .tion 25, adapted to register with the passage 22 when the handle 16 is in a fixed position and when the ports 18 and 19 registerwithf the pipes 7 and respectively. v

The regulating-valve'5 consists of an outer-icasing having a turn-plug 26 therein, provided with a handle 27'. The plug 26 has ports 28, 29, and 30 extending through same.

Said ports are adapted to form a connection between the pipes6 and 20 and are of ditferent sizes for regulating the quantity of liquid which will "pass through said plug. In Fig. 2

the plug 26 is turned so as to show the side of same which is presented toward the right of Fig. 3. The valve-casing 5 has a chamber 31 therein toward the pipe 20 of sufficient width to permit communication through either of the ports 28, 29, and 30 when such port registers with the pipe 6." The nut '32 is threaded to the upper partiofi the plug 26 and turns with said plug. Said nutis provided with a pointer 33 for denoting the pro'portionot liqnor from the receptacle 2 to be mixed with. the water coming from-the receptacle 1. The pointer is shown in Fig. 5 as opposite the mark on the casing 5. This denotes. that the quantity of liquor flowing from the receptacle 2 will be one-half of the quantity flowing from the receptacle 1. The other markson' the casing 5 indicate dilierentproportious.

The operation of my device is as follows;

The water in the receptaele'l will be kept at liquids froni'- each of said receptacles, and a the desired temperature by means of any regulating-valveindependent of the valve in suitableheater. The operator will set the plug said faucet and adapted for controlling the r 1 26 to permit the flow of the desired proportion relative proportion of the liquids flowing from 5 w '5 of liquor from the receptaelez.
